General Help Q&A / External Mics no longer working? t2i
February 17, 2017, 06:01:44 AM
Hi, I'm still new to using Magic Lantern and have run into a problem. For the last month using ML, plugging in my Rode VideoMic Go has worked great. However, today I plugged in the Rode mic and the camera doesn't seem to be recognizing it. I've tried it with the input source on auto, external stereo, and even a different lav mic and the camera still seemed to only use the internal mic (I tested this by speaking into the mic and also tapping the crap out of it to see if the audio levels move and they didn't even budge). I've uninstalled magic lantern and am planning to reinstall it once my batteries are fully charged to see if that fixes it (I also thought maybe the mics weren't working because the batteries were almost dead, but they still didn't work when battery was at 50%). Can anyone think of a reason why the mic suddenly stopped working? Hopefully the reinstall fixes it.

Hi, I am looking to use my laptop as a monitor for video shoots using a rebel t2i, which I know I can do with EOS Utility. I was just wondering though if I can still use this EOS Utility feature while running magic lantern?  I am new to magic lantern and while it's running great so far I am concerned about the possibility of bricking my camera. I know the canon controls for aperture, iso, and the like can be controlled through the laptop, but since I will be running magic lantern, will that just not compute with EOS Utility and damage my camera? If so, does anyone know of any good external video monitoring solutions to use with magic lantern? 

Thanks!
